I've confused them too

Rant: guys who are on "no carb" diets. UGH so infuriating!

I once had a person try to tell me that the ketogenic diet (which is meant for people with treatment-resistent epilepsy, not really the normal populace) wasn't actually a fad.

 

[AdamCrock]

At first I've read no crab diet .

Rant: I didn't realize the emergency alert test would cause my phone to start screeching at me.

What's wrong/sexist with men losing weight?

 

[cardgame]

I want pizza, do you want pizza? Maybe we can split it and save money.

Nope, no carbs!

What's wrong/sexist with men losing weight?

I've managed to lose weight on a full-o-carb exercise-free regime.

 

[Phrossack]

I discovered my trick to losing weight (25 lbs or so) was to eat less food. Who knew?

 

[Takhisis]

But that's cheating!

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I've lost weight simply because I forget to eat sometimes.

That is always a great way to start, and it is simpler than most other ways.

 

[JohannaK]

That's the real trick to dieting.

That's the beauty of it. I can't be bothered to restrict my diet too much, or cook healthy food, or exercise too much, but counting calories and originally sticking to around 1200-1500 calories a day took less effort than not dieting. Instead of actively doing something like exercise, I just decide *not* to do something, like eating extra food. And by not keeping much or anything in the way of milk, chocolate, and beer in my fridge, I cut calories pretty easily. Can't eat junk if you don't have it!

Rant: Migrane.

Wanna move to California and do construction?

I actually would be totally down to do construction, I don't think I can swing moving to California though.

You might be able to if you sleep on Tim's couch.

Same here. Dropping carbs has helped me with weight loss and controlling diabetes.

If that makes me an oppressor, oh well!

Imagine my interest when I saw this in the preview line from an e-mail:

Thanksgiving Sale - Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD (Exclusive Deal), $19.99 LaView H...

Unfortunately the rest of that line details the HD security camera that is available for 19.99...which admittedly would be an absurd price for the SSD drive.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I bet that was done on purpose

Almost certainly. Although the length of the preview line is dependent on the size of the browser window, so I did just happen to be perfectly susceptible. Near perfect anyway. About eight characters narrower would have been better.
